Images of symbols?

Post by SonEric84 » Sat Mar 10, 2007 2:43 am

Hey, does anyone know where I can find (or have..) decent sized pictures of the "symbols" of DBZ? Such as King Kai's, the Turtle Emblem, Capsule Corp. Logo...etc.

There was a sheet of stickers that came with DragonBall Z Son Gokû Densetsu. *scans it*
Is the quality ok, or do you need a bigger scan?

There is also a font that contains many of the "symbols". Go to http://www.dafont.com and search for Dragon Ball.

Well, I'm looking for a medium to large size so that I can print it on a shirt. :lol: Thanks though.

Whose symbol is that next to the Red Ribbon Army's symbol? I don't know if I've seen it...

That's the crest of the Saiyan royal family.

These are the symbols from the font, I missed some character meanings, and it's lacks one or two symbols, but it's good nonetheless.

If someone could help on the missing symbols and character translations it would be nice^^

Yes, I realized just a few minutes ago, thank you ^^'

Now I've put the correct translations to the symbols, and realized which ones are missing. Maybe I can contact with the person who made the font and bitch him to add the following:

– Dai Kaio (Dai)
– Goku (Go)
– Gyumaou (Gyumaou)
– Mirai Gohan (Han)
– Garlic Jr.

Here is the corrected version:

Chris Psaros wrote this back in July 1998. Perhaps there are some helpful things in there. I remember the images being larger than they actually are on the page, though :).

That link is really good, it offers some insight information. But there are a lot symbols missing. :P Plus I prefer the way those French guys draw the symbols on the font. ^^ Already sent the e-mail, just waiting for a response that may never come... -_-

That would explain why I didn't recognize it. The only place I think I've seen it is on Vegeta's armor during the Burdock special.

So thanks!

This is the font, which I think is like the rest above. From what I can see, you should be able to get it big enough to print onto a t-shirt transfer or something:D

And here's a logo like font like you'd see on the DragonBallZ logo.

They should scale up nicely, being good clean line art. Or since they are mostly just plain ol' kanji, maybe you could find a way to just use text. If you click the link, they're pretty big already... perhaps not big enough if you want to use them front and centred as the focus for your shirt design, but big enough to be a patch over the chest like Goku uses.

How big exactly does it need to be? I can do the scaling for you if it helps.

If someone can give me the romaji for these, I can make them as big as you want.

Hmm...let me get back to you on that one. I have to ask my g/f as she's doing it in her graphic arts class. Thanks for the offer though.



Edit: I guess this size will be fine.
